  3. Brazilian version is 670 stickers and they don't have black back but also pink. The clear difference is that they have "Made in Brazil" on the back. Here is sample of such back: https://www.tcdb.com/Images/Large/Soccer/217382/217382-13771911Bk.jpg

    2. I was trying to sort these sets on tcdb.com site and your site helped me as well to see there are so many variations. Do you know if Industria Argentina version is 682 stickers or 670 stickers?

      BTW, Quatar 2022 stickers also have two pink back variations. One with "Made in Brazil" and another "Made in Italy". And both of these have orange players' background for front front (unlike all others that use blue background).

    3. Oh, BTW, here are scans of the box where I got pink back stickers:

      Seeing how hey list various countries and how people bought these elsewhere, not sure this is South American release but probably actual "International" release.

      Here are scans of Brazilian packs:

      You can see they have additional text in their language on the front saying "contains 5 cards" and on the back of the pack it also says "Made in Brazil". Hope this helps you some more. Cheers!

    4. Thanks for the links. The box is slightly different from the version I have on my blog. I will add yours to my original post.

      I think I covered all the packets I know about for the Russia 2018 collection.

    5. Hiya, I found a couple of black and pink variations which don't have pattern on the back. I dunno where they are from, or if they were included in the same packs as the ones with the patter.

      Here's example of the one with pink back but no pattern:

    6. Thanks for letting me know. I have noticed in scans I made of these stickers if the settings on the scanner aren't correct the pattern can disappear because it is so pale. I would have to see the actual sticker to include these as a true variation. In some cases I don't think scans can be reliable.
